During 2022 I have been taking a Humans Being More Class on telling stories in a clear and entertaining manner. Jeff Isom, Chancellor of Nikken University at Nikken International, Inc., leads the class. One assignment was to give a 2 minute talk about something we have around the house. My choice for this assignment is to talk about a sea-shell dog-shaped brooch I made in 1950 while attending a one-room school ranging from grade one to six in rural Saskatchewan. During that year there were only 16 student. There were only 3 in my grade.
Quote from my Autobiography Page 18: “Margaret Sarich was my grade six teacher. She trained with my sister, Clare, in Normal School (Teacher’s College). During the winter of 1950 a hobby class was formed and Miss Sarich taught us leather work, plaster of paris ornaments and sea-shell jewellery. I made a leather wallet, an ornament and a pink sea shell dog brooch. I still have the dog tucked away in my jewellery box. I remember how good I felt being taught by her. Her remarks on my report card were: ‘Lorraine’s attitude towards her work is satisfactory. She need to pay attention to her reading, Lorraine is an average student’ ”
